This is a tiny compact - pretty but plain. I am trying to reduce the weight of my handbags and needed a small compact rather than the standard sized one I had. This will also fit nicely in a clutch style and evening bag. I would have preferred a subtle pattern rather than smooth finish so to minimize finger prints; and, I didn't care for the alligator version. All in all, I am satisfied with the purchase although I think the compact was a bit overpriced.

I purchased this small compact to carry it in my small clutch purse to our son's wedding. The clutch is very small and this compact, which comes in a velvet pouch to protect it from scratches, etc., fits perfectly! Nice lucidity translucent powder inside and comes with a little puff. Refills are also available. Very chic. Very feminine. I love it and recommend it for when you are carrying a small clutch purse! (I did not receive a trial of this product although it pops up on the review even though I clicked "No"......I doubt there even is one... ;)

First, I must admit that I purchased this item JUST for the compact. Considering that, I'm satisfied with the product; it's very small (ever seen a rosebud salve lipbalm? its a bit smaller than that...) but I like the way it looks, its simple yet very classy the size is also conveniant since you can carry it everywhere.

Now the powder that comes with it is another story, I guess it would be fine for someone who has a very fair and greasy skin but it makes my lighe golden'ish skin look very white and tired, almost sick, it revomes all the glow from it.I guess im just going to refill it with a diy compact powder (yes you can do it with any of your favorite powder + few drops of rosewater or alcool)

the disc that comes with it is also horrible for the application, I highly recoment you to carry a little kkabuki brush with you for better results

I dont regret my purchase at all, I absoluetly love the little compact I just wont buy the refill.

This compact is beautiful and functional -- especially for one who loves tiny purses like I do! It comes with its own protective drawstring bag to avoid scratches, and it is so sleek! Further, you can purchase refills at a reasonable price, so, ultimately, it is more economical and more green than other compacts! Helpful hint: Don't leave your compact in your desk at the office! I made that mistake, so this is why this is my second After Hours Compact!

This mini-compact is perfect. Discreet enough to tuck inan evening or to unclutter your handbag. The sheer color powder is very fine, and would suit most. Easily portable, this chic little compact does a great job in a small space.

It would be terrific if Estee Lauder made a special line of "mini/take-everywhere products": Including this compact, a concealer, and trial size lipstick and mascara wands. They'd be handy at all times.

I knew this was small, but I didn't really how small! It fits in the palm of my hand--and I'm a petite woman. It really is doll-size, so if you are looking for something "slim" but not tiny, this is not it. It is both slim and tiny. Having said that, I do anything to make my handbag lighter, so this will do the trick nicely. Only complaint: the "powder puff" is not going to last very long, it's a little piece of felt or something with paper backing. Not a washable sponge like you might find in a bigger model.

This slim gold compact is more than I could have hoped for in using with a small clutch or handbag, it fits perfectly anywhere, even in your pocket and the powder can be replaced inexpensively by ordering a refill. Great value, great product!
